TOPSoccer, is a community based program for young athletes with disabilities to learn and play the game of soccer. It’s open to any child age 6 and up with a cognitive or physical disability. I found out about TOPSoccer through a Village of Carpentersville newsletter. Aiden has been in this program for a few years now. I think this was the first recreational program that Aiden belonged to. I really like TOPSoccer because everyone there really seems to enjoy working with our special kids, and it’s affordable! Aiden likes it because he gets to run around and enjoys working with his “buddy” (high school volunteer assigned to stay with him the entire time). Over the years his soccer skills and understanding of the game has really improved as well. This is one of those little gems that I am so grateful to have found.
